Morka Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Sorry in advance if this is something that's been asked before, or I missed it on the webpage. I'm a Pathfinder player, and have become very interested in PoE. I wanted to check on one item before getting a copy. How easy is it to pause the game, or quickly quit-out without loosing tons of progress? Due to family needs, I often have to stop playing games with little warning. I've become pretty frustrated with many modern games because you have to be 100% present until a match is finished, or a way-point is reached. After losing too many matches, plot elements, and cut scenes, I've been out of most games. How is PoE with the ability to pause, or save and quit? Having Pathfinder in digital format, and easy to exit, has been a huge win! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric Galad Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 You can pause almost any time, except a very few and short cut scenes. You can save almost any time when you're out of combat. Battle last for max 5-10mn. It's time consuming but flexible. I think it is in line with your needs. Also there's a bug in version 3.02 that affects save/load. Probably going to be fixed soon. I advise you to wait for 3.03. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morka Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Great! What's the ETA for that patch? What does the bug do, lose data? Thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenixp Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 The bug makes some enemies more and more powerful if you reload too much. It shouldn't really be noticeable most of the time, but you don't want to end up being one of the cases who does end up noticing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morka Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 I will heed the warning of the scary System Shock logo person! Darn, now I'm all excited to start and stuck waiting. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManifestedISO Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Can't say I've encountered any save-game bugs. No need to wait, Pillars is dirt-cheap on Steam right now, $17.99. All Stop. On Screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenixp Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 "Just go and play, it'll be fine" is the advice I wanted to give too at first, but then I realized the moment I do that, Morka'll be pretty much guaranteed to hit the stacking bug big time :-P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManifestedISO Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 That is true, even though some people don't believe in curses, they are real. I still say go for it. Buy it on sale, wait for 3.03. All Stop. On Screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmir Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Why not play with the 3.03 beta patch then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loren Tyr Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Yeah, I'd just go for Steam with 3.03 beta; only avoid Confident Aim on Fighter, it's rather overpowered at the moment. Also: curses don't exist outside of fiction. So no reason to worry on that account either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
